Karan Johar to focus on giving his kids right values

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who is a father to twins Roohi and Yash, said his priority is not to give his kids fashionable and trendy clothes but to imbibe the right values in them.

When asked if being a fashion-conscious father, he dresses his kids in trendy clothes, Karan told the media, "I don't think so. Although that's the expectation when it comes to me."

"Right now, I am focussing on them being good and being well-brought up children. I am giving them the right value system rather than the right clothes. Fashion is really not on the priority list for me," said Karan, who became father to the twins via surrogacy in 2017.

But what about paparazzi continuously chasing celebrity kids? "Well it's the order of the day and it is not a hazard really. It is what it is. We are in the business called show business so everything in our lives is now inclusive. Nothing can remain private and that's what it is. And if it is collateral damage and it comes with a territory then we have to accept it with open arms," he said.

Talking about how Bollywood influences fashion, Karan said: "Bollywood has always been the impressionable medium that has really dictated fashion trends." He added, "When you go back to the 60s and beyond, everything that happened on celluloid always had a deep impact on the way people presented themselves. They emulate and imbibe the fashion on screen, so I think that's the kind of relation fashion has with films. Of course nowadays everyone is so exposed to the internet and social media, which teaches so much about trends. But I still feel that films have their own niche place in modelling the fashion and DNA of our times."

Karan, who tried his hand at designing in the past, in association with a fashion brand, said he has no plans to get into that anytime soon. "Not for a while. I would rather just wear other people's clothes and enjoy it as there is too much happening on the work front for me," said Karan.
